Bai Si's smile was full of provocation, his eyes were staring straight at Mao Dong, and the corners of his mouth were slightly tilted with a smile.

Mao Dong clenched his fists with both hands, clenched his teeth, his slightly panting breath and the fierce eyes that burst out of his dark eyes could barely support the increasingly anxious anger in his heart.

The hospital security guard finally came out with a walkie-talkie and pointed at the two of them, "Hey, what are you doing!" ”

Bai Si smiled and glanced at it, shrugged his shoulders, and said to the security guard with a very innocent look: "Be considerate of this family, I am in a bad mood." ”

The security guard muttered a few words before turning around and leaving.

Mao Dong stepped forward and narrowed the distance between him and Bai Si.

He grabbed his sweater jacket and grabbed the expensive handmade shirt inside Bai Si.

Mao Dong said: "Listen well, if you continue to fight her idea, I will definitely not let you have a foothold in the Bai family." His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing anger, word by word, "Trust me, I will do what I say." ”

"Is it Shi Tangyi's son?" Bai Si smiled and pushed Mao Dong's hand away, and gently patted the miscellaneous Chen that was not on the collar. "I know that you have a good relationship with Shi Bowen, and that's right, you are now working under him, and you have always relied on others to live anyway, I think Shi Bowen can also help you."

"What do you mean?" Mao Dong asked in a low voice.

Bai Si's smiling eyes looked full of traps.

He straightened his clothes and said slowly: "I heard that the house you live in now belongs to a high-end community, I really envy you, you can find such a desperate woman, if you replace me"

Before he finished speaking, Mao Dong had already clenched his fists and grabbed Bai Si again. "You make it clear!"

In a moment, the cold wind howled, the debris on the ground rose with the wind, the leaves swayed, and the ears only felt ashamed of themselves because of the shock.

"Liang Ju, that stupid woman couldn't see that you were living a poor life, so she found the house where you live now, and she paid you half a year's rent at once, in order to let you not suffer. If it hadn't been for the last time I sent her to you, I wouldn't have known that the man who wanted to avenge his eldest brother desperately would still eat soft rice. ”

Bai Si's words were blown apart by the north wind, but they were pieced together so completely that every word fell into Mao Dong's ears.

He stared at Bai Si and didn't react for a long time.

He wanted to see through what he was saying that wasn't true.

And yet it still sounds so real.

Mao Dong asked: "How can she have so much money?" ”

Bai Si looked up and laughed as if he had heard a joke. "That's why I said that you are really blessed, not only have you found a woman who loves you so much, but also a Zhong Ling who has been unchanged for you for many years and is dead hearted."

"Zhong Ling took out her savings to pay the rent for you, I guess you definitely don't know, she actually helped you get Beixing back."

"North Star?"

Hand, as if pierced by a needle, Mao Dong slowly let go of the hand that was tightly gripping the collar of the white sweater.

His arm hung down weakly, and he stabbed deeply, just piercing into Mao Dong's heart, the weakest blank space in his heart.

The person Mao Dong doesn't want to owe is Zhong Ling, but in fact, he has been receiving her favor.

Several young men ran into the hospital with a man with a head injury in their hands, shouting as they ran: "Doctor! Doctor! ”

Mao Dong stood on the corner of the hospital gate, and those people didn't pay attention, and slammed into Mao Dong's body.

Mao Dong's body was crooked and almost knocked down, but it was still Bai Si, and he reached out to grab him.

The two people who were originally different in height are now white hair, leaning over with their left leg bent, while Bai Si is standing there straight up.

Bai Si smiled, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth took on disgust.

"Mao Dong, I originally wanted you to help me a little when I came back this time, but now it seems that you are of no use to me. Still living on women, hehe. ”

Let go and poof!

It is the fall that should be done in the end.

Mao Dong fell to his knees.

The secretary drove the car to the gate of the hospital, Bai Si glanced at Mao Dong, turned around, and walked down the steps elegantly.

The secretary next to him had already opened the car door and stood aside, Bai Si wiped his hands with the paper towel handed by the secretary, and threw it away, the white paper towel drifted in the wind and gradually fell to the cement stone steps at the door.

On the concrete steps, a man was standing.

Start the car, get away from the dust, and drive out of the gate.

Mao Dong stayed where he was in a daze, his eyes empty.

There was the sound of shoes stepping on the concrete floor beside him, step by step, gradually approaching.

Liang Zhifu stood on the steps and looked at the place where the car disappeared, silent.

He sighed and broke Mao Dong's distraction.

"Uncle?" Mao Dong got up and saw Liang Zhifu standing less than two meters away from him.

Liang Zhifu's expression was calm, and he didn't know how much he saw in the scene just now.

"Mr. Mao, can I call you that?" He asked.

Liang Zhifu's words were full of alienation, and Mao Dong just said lightly: "Uncle, you can call me by my name directly." ”

After all, Mao Dong is five years older than Liang Ju and looks much more mature than her, so there is no need for Liang Zhifu to say some flattering words.

"I came to you to talk about you and my daughter."

Mao Dong's expression was calm and silent.

"With all due respect, I don't think you're a good fit for my daughter."

His words did not surprise Mao Dong. Mao Dong was silent, and Liang Zhifu said again: "I'm not prejudiced against you, I just hope you can understand, as a father, I hope my daughter can live a happy life." ”

"Uncle"

Mao Dong wanted to speak, but was stopped by Liang Zhifu reaching out.

"You are very steady, which makes me affirm Liang Ju's vision, but you also have many life experiences and difficulties that she has never had. I'm not a conservative parent, but I'm a father who loves his daughter. Mr. Mao, I just want to know now, can you give her happiness? Can she be carefree for the rest of her life? ”

Gradually looking away and looking at the leaves swaying in the wind not far away, Mao Dong suppressed and said, "I'm sorry, I can't yet." ”

"Mr. Mao, Liang Ju's mother and I are ordinary people, we don't have a solid family background, we don't want Liang Ju to find a rich family in the future, we just hope that her future life is happy, instead of worrying about the financial resources of life or the safety of her husband all day long. I can only be sorry for hearing the conversation between you and that gentleman just now, I can hear that your current life is not very superior, I have also heard some things about you from Cousin Liang Ju, and I know that you are a strong child, but I still can't rest assured that my daughter will be handed over to someone like you. ”

Mao Dong stood there silently, and in one night, he had been uncovered many times, until the wound was bloody and numb.

But he still felt a piece of pain in his heart.

"If Mr. Mao doesn't care, that gentleman seems to have said a girl's name just now, I don't know what the relationship between the two of you is, but I can hear that the girl seems to have feelings for you."

"Uncle, I have to explain this, she is just my sister-in-law who has not passed through the door, and after my eldest brother died, I was responsible for taking care of her."

"How long will it take? Let you take care of her for the rest of your life? ”

Mao Dong pursed his lips and nodded: "For a lifetime." ”

Liang Zhifu didn't expect Mao Dong to answer so directly, and his wrinkled face became angry, "Then what do you want my daughter to do?" A man takes care of two women at the same time? ”

"Uncle, you misunderstood"

"Okay, let's stop our conversation, in short, Liang Ju's mother and I won't agree to you being together, you can go."

Mao Dong didn't move, Liang Zhifu turned around and went directly to the inpatient department.

After walking a few steps, he turned around again, "In the future, please don't come to see Liang Ju again." When I'm an old man, thank you. ”

The emaciated and elderly back has a persistent protective instinct for his daughter, Mao Dong respects what Liang Zhifu does, and he can understand a father's responsibility to his daughter, but Liang Zhifu will not understand Mao Dong's love for Liang Ju.

Their love will not be understood by others, and they will never be understood.

***

On a quiet night, the moonlight shone dimly on the sea.

The waves blown by the wind hit the sea wave after wave, and in the quiet sea, except for the smell of seawater, only the cold wind that did not listen to the whistling in the ears was left.

The moonlight was hazy, and Mao Dong sat alone in the cold night, looking at the endless night and the sea, with empty wine bottles piled up at his feet.

Empty night, with an empty heart.

For the first time, he had a sense of frustration, a deep sense of frustration.

Liang Zhifu's words make sense, he wants to see his daughter's happiness, but Liang Ju's happiness Mao Dong can't give it.

He couldn't calm down and ignore Zhong Ling, he couldn't ignore his eldest brother's death, and he couldn't get rid of everything he had before to start over with Liang Ju.

All he can give is his heart.

A poor heart.

"Huh."

Mao Dong laughed at himself, what did he use to love her, even the current house was actually given to him by Liang Ju.

I looked up and wanted to drink it all, but the bottle in my hand was already empty, and when I shook my hand, the empty wine bottle fell on the beach and happened to knock over another empty wine bottle, and the two bottles collided together, and there was a bang.

The sound echoed on the calm sea, and there was only loneliness and death on the empty seaside.

On a dark and cold night, someone came over and sat beside Mao Dong gently, thinking that he had just met the same person who was lonely and frustrated at the moment, and didn't pay much attention to it.

The man sat down, silent, Mao Dong thought about whether he should kindly hand him a bottle of beer, because those who can appear here without going home at this time must be people with bitter hearts.

Just the moment he turned his head, Mao Dong didn't expect that the person who could appear in front of him at this moment would actually be Zhong Ling.

"I've followed you all the way."

Zhong Lingwan smiled at Mao Dong, her shoulder-length hair was blown by the cold wind.

followed all the way, and must have seen the wonderful scene at the entrance of the hospital.

Raising his hand, another big sip of beer went down, and Mao Dong didn't speak.

"Give me a bottle too." Zhong Ling stretched out her hand to ask Mao Dong for it.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Mao Dong gave her a bottle, "No one cares about you when you're drunk." ”

Zhong Ling smiled and stretched out her hand to take it, "I'll go back myself." ”

The two of them were silent for a while in the cold wind, and Zhong Ling, who has rarely touched wine, rarely drank a lot of wine, she was thinly dressed, and kept rubbing her hands to keep warm.

Mao Dong is a man after all, no matter what relationship he has with Zhong Ling, a girl's family runs out in the middle of the night to accompany you to blow the cold wind on the beach, no matter how you say it, I feel a little warm.

He took off his coat and handed it to her, "Go home." ”

Zhong Ling glanced sideways at him, and threw the dress to him again, "I'm not cold." ”

The clothes were thrown back and still on the ground, Mao Dong took a deep breath, picked them up and put them on.

Nearly half an hour passed, Zhong Ling's body had already been penetrated by the wind, she covered her arms and trembled, and kept drinking in order to keep warm.

Mao Dong really couldn't stand it, so after drinking the wine in his hand, he directly put his coat on Zhong Ling and got up.

"Where are you going?" Zhong Ling also stood up.

"Sending you home."

***

Zhong Ling's new house is an ordinary apartment, the facilities are quite complete, there is a supermarket near the downstairs community, in addition to being close to the airport every day of noise, the rest is not bad.

This was Mao Dong's first time coming, and he didn't enter the house.

"Why don't you come in and sit down?" Zhong Ling stood at the door and asked him.

"It's too late."

Mao Dong turned around to leave, but Zhong Ling stopped him again, "It's already past two o'clock, this place is so far from your house, you should make up here for the night." ”

Mao Dong raised his eyes to look at her, and his deep eyes became misty because of the drink.

"I have a guest room at home, you can sleep there." Zhong Ling immediately added, her expression seemed a little nervous.

Mao Dong looked at her for a while, and his carved facial features appeared more three-dimensional under the dim illumination of the corridor sensor lamp.

In Mao Dong's scrutinizing eyes, Zhong Ling avoided his gaze.

After a while, he finally spoke.

"Zhong Ling, you are my sister-in-law, you helped me, I thank you. Liang Ju is sometimes too willful, she doesn't think about things so much, you can't be like her. ”

Zhong Ling's hand holding the door of the house contracted tightly. "Why can't I if she can help you? I'll help you for her, won't I? ”

Mao Dong put his hands in his pants pockets, and his slightly drooping eyes became even darker under the illumination of the light.

He stood there, his eyes looking away.

"She is my woman, and you are my sister-in-law. You're not the same. ”

Zhong Ling's fingers seemed to be about to buckle into the door frame, and she held on to the door, for fear that if she was not careful, she would lose her strength and fall.

"I see." She said.

***

Liang Ju stayed in the hospital for nearly ten days before being discharged, and in the hospital for a few days, Liang's father Liang Zhifu and Liang's mother accompanied their daughter every day. Liang Ju has been waiting for Mao Dong to appear, and wants to take this opportunity to officially introduce Mao Dong to his parents, but until he is discharged from the hospital, Mao Dong does not appear again.

During this period, Shapi came once, and took advantage of Liang's mother's inattention to secretly tell Liang Ju that Mao Dong had actually come when she had surgery.

"And how did my parents react?" Liang Ju asked hurriedly by tugging on Shapi's arm.

Shar Pei stopped the orange he was peeling, glanced at the door, and said in a low voice, "The reaction is not strong, but there is no joy or anger either." ”

Knowing that Mao Dong met with his parents, Liang Ju was both relieved and worried. On several occasions, she tried to test her mother's tone, but her father interrupted and removed the topic.

The day I was discharged from the hospital was a rare good weather, with clear skies and a stop from the north wind that had been blowing for a few days.

Cousin Sister Ming Xuan drove the car to pick up Liang Ju, and while she was packing her luggage, Liang Ju came to her cousin.

"Sister, I'll go home with you later."

"Do what?" The cousin probably guessed Liang Ju's careful thoughts, and asked in a tone.

Liang Ju blinked and smiled.

"Go to him?" Cousin asked.

"Hmmm! He hadn't been here in days, so I'd go see what was going on. Liang Ju said as he turned back to get dressed.

"I advise you to forget it."

"Why?" Liang Ju's hand paused.

"Don't you know, my uncle-in-law has already made it clear to that kid that he doesn't agree with the two of you being together."

For Liang Ju, this is simply the worst expectation in her heart. Liang Zhifu usually loves Liang Ju the most, Liang Ju has always felt that the person who opposes it will be his mother, in case his mother does not agree, at least her father will help mediate it, but now it has become Liang Zhifu who does not agree. The person Liang Ju knows best is his father, who is upright and very stubborn, and what he believes is that 10,000 cows can't pull it back.

"Why? Why didn't my dad agree? ”

"Eighty percent think he's not good."

"What did he say?"

"Who are you talking about? Your boyfriend? "I don't know, I haven't been here since." ”

As soon as he heard this, Liang Ju was even more anxious, "No, I have to go to him now!" ”

"Hey," the cousin hurriedly called out to her.

Liang Ju put on his clothes and pushed the door to leave, when he happened to bump into Liang Zhifu and his mother He Mei, who had just finished paying.

"Where are you going?" The father stood at the door with a pile of hospital bills.

"Dad, I have to go back to school quickly, you and Mom should go back first."

Liang Ju was about to leave.

"You're back!" Liang Zhifu stretched out his hand and dragged her back, "If you go to find that kid, you don't have to go, I have already made it clear to him that you two are not suitable!" ”

"Why?"

"There is no why!"

"Dad!"

"No need to talk about it! It's useless to talk! Liang Zhifu stopped Liang Ju's further plea.

He left Liang Ju and entered the ward alone, but Liang's mother He Mei glanced at the two of them and said, "I think that young man is good, he is good-looking, I think he is also very attentive to our oranges." ”

"You know what, you know what that guy's background is?" Liang Zhifu also came up for a while, pointing at Liang's mother and scolding.

"What background?" "What a background!"

Liang Ju and his mother asked in unison.

Liang Zhifu looked at Liang Ju and He Mei, and said that he was suffering.
