Chapter 111: Choice
When he was a teenager, Jing Chu couldn't understand his father's love, Chu Qingqing's father used to be Jing Qin's partner, the two were fellow villagers, they started a business together at the beginning, when the company was in trouble, Chu's father sold his shares and left, and chose to invest in another company, but the company went bankrupt, he came back to Jing Qin for help, the two met from the end of the day, and there was still some affection, so Jing Qin lent a sum of money to Chu's father, so that he made a comeback.
Not long after the comeback, Chu Qingqing's biological mother died of illness, and in less than a year, Chu's father married another rich lady and soon gave birth to a son.
At that time, Jing Qin's evaluation of Chu's father was that "his gas is narrow, his self-esteem is too high, and he is not enough to achieve great things", it was he who left and turned around to beg for help, but in his eyes, it was Jing Qin who knew that his original investment was not suitable but only wanted to see his jokes.
After marrying a second wife, the two of them are no longer the kind of friends they used to be. As a father, such a person is naturally not much better, Chu's father started from the end of Weimo, he was originally the only son in the family, and he has all the old-fashioned attachments to his son, Chu Qingqing's birth is not what he wants.
Jing Qin originally didn't have a deep impression of Chu Qingqing, she would follow her mother to visit the Jing family when she was a child, and she was familiar with Bai Xiangxue, but after Chu's father continued to join the strings, the two families basically broke off.
It wasn't until that year that Chu Qingqing couldn't bear it anymore and chose to go back to his hometown to study that he saw her again, and that year he happened to be recuperating in his hometown because of illness, and the two met like this.
The cause of everything is very simple, Chu's father ignored Chu Qingqing's return to his hometown, she returned to the old house of the Chu family to take a look, and found that the house was dilapidated, and it was leaking down, and it was impossible to live at all.
Even to this day, he can still remember the appearance of her pushing the door in, she should pity the moss, the small button firewood door has not been opened for a long time, she mustered up the courage to push the door in, the door is covered with a white and beautiful face, some moss is born on the stone road, and the gardenia blooms fragrantly.
As soon as he sat there and looked up, he saw her.
Chu Qingqing left home to study because she had no place at home, "When she was pregnant, we went to a banquet, my pearl necklace suddenly broke, she stepped on it, and almost miscarried, she didn't say it, but my father thought I did it on purpose", "After my brother was born, she didn't let me get close at all, for fear that I would harm him", "She spread rumors to her father, saying that she would choke him to death when she saw me giving him fructose", "Dad doesn't believe me, doesn't love me, he only has my brother in his eyes", "I have no place to live at home".
Jing Qin naturally understood Chu's father's character, he took pity on her and let her live at home temporarily, and after a long time, he gradually became emotional.
Falling in love with such a little girl, naturally it is shameless in his heart, but he is not particularly resistant, he and Bai Xiangxue have been married for more than ten years, but the two sides have never had a strong love for each other, the first half of his life was spent on hard work, and the second half of his life was also very little love.
Who knows, it's not that it's inherently cold, it's just that the person you like is too late.
Is it absurd? Absurd. Is it bizarre? Bizarre.
I still remember that it was a rainy spring weather, Chu Qingqing woke up in the afternoon, she was not awake, as if she didn't know that she was a guest in her dream, she walked through the corridor, the window on the second floor was open, and it was drizzling outside, and Jing Qin was reading in the study, she walked over curiously and asked him "What are you looking at", he smiled very gently, and replied, "I'm reading waka".
Then he taught her to read "Iroha Song", "Although the flowers are fragrant, they will eventually fall, life is impermanent, the mundane world is now free, and if you don't love drunken dreams, you won't be wasted."
Don't love drunk dreams, don't waste. She chewed in her heart, very melancholy.
In the winter of the second year, it was rare to have snow in the south, and it was white outside, and the fine fluffy snowflakes were flying, which was very beautiful. And Qing Shao Nayan asked someone to put the lattice on the shelf and roll up the imperial curtain high, and Zhonggong smiled when he saw it. Everyone said that everyone knew about it, and they all remembered what was sung in the song, but they couldn't remember it for a while. As the female official of this middle palace, she is also the most suitable.
After hearing this paragraph, Chu Qingqing pressed his hand on the book to cover it, and said with a smile: "I know, listen to the bell pillow of the Bereaved Temple, and look at the incense burner peak and snow curtain, it is Bai Juyi's poem, right?" When she laughed, it was as if this oppressive and gloomy snowy day had also become clear.
Jing Qin didn't answer, he just stared at her deeply, such a gentle and delicate gaze made her intoxicated, Chu Qingqing didn't speak, the two of them looked at each other quietly, and only the heartbeat could be heard in the silence, Jing Qin asked slowly: "Ah Qing, why is your heart beating so fast?" ”
Chu Qingqing was sharp-toothed, and asked him rhetorically: "Then why is your heart beating so fast?" ”
Jing Qin glanced at her with a smile, followed by Chu Qingqing also smiled, the two didn't have to explain the words, but they already understood each other's intentions in an instant.
They don't even have to say it, and this is not a good time to say it, but their hearts are sweet, like the most precious thing has been lost, how joyful.
It was also that year that Jing Qin and Bai Xiangxue frankly divorced, and when Chu Qingqing went home, he was seen by his shrewd stepmother, and as soon as the wind blew in his ears in a few words, Chu's father made a big fuss, accusing Jing Qin of abducting his daughter was really obscene and despicable.
You must know how fragrant peach-colored rumors about a married middle-aged man and a young girl in the flower season can spread all over the city in an instant, no matter now and in the past.
Father Chu was proud, only to feel that this time he raised his eyebrows and humiliated him fiercely, completely forgetting his previous feelings, and even following his wife's advice, and trumpeting with Jing Qin's business partner that the other party's character and morality were all problematic, and it was not the best choice for cooperation, so it was better to sign an order with him instead, and he would definitely not be disappointed.
The stepmother felt that this trick was really beautiful, she had always had a city government and showed her clues in front of Chu Qingqing, Chu Qingqing was under house arrest, and she couldn't do anything, so she could only watch him being attacked but silent.
But whenever there is such a scandal, one party must be at fault, someone is the victim, and the stepmother has her intention to marry, so she is said to be an ignorant girl and deceived by him.
It's always easy to forgive little girls.
But adults always think that children don't understand anything, they can't distinguish anything, but they actually know it in their hearts, she was deceived and hurt? No, no, the world doesn't want to know the truth, it's just looking for a conversation that can be talked about after dinner.
They don't care what the real story is.
The rumors intensified, and once became the headlines of entertainment newspapers, Jing Qin was silent, that is, they thought there was nothing to say, and they acquiesced, and he took all the charges.
Chu Qingqing was locked up for more than a month, and it seemed that she had accepted her fate, but when her stepmother relaxed her vigilance, she bribed the maid who was guarding her, ran away from home, and returned to the place where they first met, she thought, people always think that this is just the ignorance of teenagers, but I know it's true.
You all think it's a lewd man who covets a young girl** and a girl who is greedy for money and sells her youth to hook up and commit adultery.
But I know no, and before anything could happen, it was destroyed by your rumors.
It doesn't matter, I know it's not a flash of mind, it's not an impulse.
The world laughs at me for being stupid, and I laugh at the world for being too shrewd. There are always some stupid people in this world who will do something stupid to prove love.
When everyone laughs at Romeo and Juliet, when everyone looks down on Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, I will still be moved by their love.
In this life, people will always have a choice, some are worth it, some are not worth it, some people promise life and death for love, and some people die for love and come back to life.
She chose to jump off the bridge and end her life.
