Chapter Forty-Six: A Sad Past
Huo Jingwei turned his head to look at her, such an affectionate Huang Ruirui surprised him.
In my impression, she has always been arrogant and strong, looking like a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, no matter how difficult she is, she faces it bravely, but at this time, a phone call made her cry like rain.
Huo Jingwei wanted to hold her in his arms and wipe the tears from her face for her, but in the end, he held back.
He rested his hand on the steering wheel, but he stepped on the accelerator under his feet, and rushed to City B with Huang Ruirui in the mode of an arrow off the string.
Grandma's body has been brought back home from the hospital, and Huang Ruirui is crying in front of the spirit.
"Okay, Ruirui, people can't be resurrected after death, don't be too sad." Uncle comforted her.
The neighbors spontaneously helped, and the funeral was arranged, with green gauze and white flowers, and the hut also had a few solemn flavors.
Huo Jingwei, as Huang Ruirui's senior, followed to participate in this funeral.
That girl was purely devoid of spirit and full of sadness.
What made him strange was that he didn't look at Huang Ruirui's parents, according to this situation, how could her parents be there.
On the day of the burial, a middle-aged man covered in alcohol finally appeared in the mourning hall.
"Oh, Huang Conggui, why are you only coming back now, why don't you go and kowtow to your mother a few more times."
Someone was pointing him out.
Immediately, Huang Ruirui's uncle stood up: "You bastard, your mother is dead, you are purely fine, and you are only coming back now." ”
The man shrugged his head, but he didn't speak, went to the spirit and kowtowed a few times, and then put on a pillar of incense.
From beginning to end, Huang Ruirui didn't raise her head and said a word to him.
After two busy days, the deceased was finally laid to rest.
During this period, Huo Jingwei changed his previous strong aura, but he was extremely gentle and considerate, helping Huang Ruirui deal with some things, and even persuaded Huang Ruirui to eat something when Huang Ruirui didn't eat or drink.
Everyone knows that this person is Huang Ruirui's boyfriend.
After dealing with the aftermath, Huang Ruirui still had to go back to school, and when Huo Jingwei took her to the car, Huang Conggui, that is, Huang Ruirui's father, chased after her.
"Anyway, you can be regarded as my daughter's boyfriend, looking at your car, you know that you are very rich, you must always give me this old welcome gift."
Huo Jingwei was stunned, but Huang Ruirui was angry and anxious, she shouted at Huang Conggui: "What are you talking about, he is just my friend, just send me back." ”
"What a friend, lie to people, Ruirui, don't lie to Dad."
"I don't have a dad like you." Huang Ruirui's face turned pale: "Grandma is dead, you don't ask anything, you only know how to drink and play cards all day long, now, what qualifications do you have to say this and that." ”
Huang Conggui's face was extremely ugly: "You eat things inside and out, I will make you so big, you dare to talk back to me." ”
"Have you ever raised me? Don't forget, you were going to throw me into the river and drown, it was my grandmother who forcibly carried me home, and it was my grandmother who pulled me ......" At this point, Huang Ruirui turned her head and stopped looking at him.
"Hey, your wings are stiff now, aren't they? Believe it or not, I'll kill you......"
"If you have the ability, you can beat me and try it. Since I was a child, my mother was scared by you and ran away alone...... I just said that I must learn martial arts well, and I won't let you get drunk and beat people up again......"
Huang Conggui laughed angrily: "Okay, good, you dead girl, you have the ability, don't come back......"
"My grandmother died, and I never thought about coming back......"
Huo Jingwei couldn't hold his breath, no matter what kind of person this man was, but he didn't want Huang Ruirui to quarrel with him again.
It seems that all mentioned is Huang Ruirui's sadness.
From the trunk, he took out a bag of paper, which contained 100,000 yuan in cash, which was just for unpreparedness.
He took tens of thousands of yuan from it, and handed it to Huang Conggui through the car window.
As soon as he saw the money, Huang Conggui seemed to have never opened his drunken eyes, but they opened wide: "Oh, if you are really rich, it is different to make a move......"
This face is really a bit hateful. But his hand hanging from the window was loosened.
Huo Jingwei couldn't have imagined that Huang Ruirui would have such a father.
He didn't speak, just kept his face calm and started the car.
"You shouldn't have given him money, you really shouldn't have given him money." Huang Ruirui sat in the second seat, still with a sad face.
"It's okay, outside the body." Huo Jingwei said calmly.
This money, for him, is not worth mentioning at all, and it was given to Huang Conggui, so that he would no longer quarrel with Huang Ruirui, which is very good for Huang Ruirui.
"Give him money, he is sitting at the gambling table again, he will not lose cleanly, he will not leave the table at all, in this life, in his eyes, there is only ...... gambling" Huang Ruirui endured it and pressed back her tears.
Huo Jingwei was silent, although Huang Ruirui and Huang Conggui's quarrel was only a few words, he heard it very clearly.
Huang Conggui, who was always greedy for alcohol and gambling, beat and scolded Huang Ruirui's mother when he lost money, so that Huang Ruirui's mother left her when Huang Ruirui was very young and left the house alone.
Even Huang Conggui wanted to throw Huang Ruirui in the river and drown when he was drunk, but fortunately, Huang Ruirui's grandmother was in time to save Huang Ruirui.
It's no wonder that Huang Ruirui is so afraid of water, she refuses to go to the water's edge no matter what, she has a shadow in her heart since she was a child.
Huo Jingwei turned her head to look at her again, she sat next to her alone, looked out of the car, and said nothing.
But looking at her slightly shrugged shoulders and slightly trembling body, he knew she was crying.
He parked the car on the side of the road and gently moved her head, her face was already full of tears, and in her eyes was a kind of bitterness from sadness to despair.
The quarrel just now hooked up all the hardships she suffered when she was a child.
"Don't cry, Ruirui." He put his arms around her, tugging at the tie on his chest, and wiping her tears from her indiscriminately.
Her tears, like bursting the embankment, could not be stopped.
He had to press her head and press it on his heart, he stroked her hair over and over again, and kept murmuring: "Rui Rui, don't cry, the past has passed, although your grandmother is gone, but in the future, I will take care of you in place of grandma." ”
Hearing him mention his grandmother, Huang Ruirui cried again.
Her shoulders trembled, and she almost fainted from crying.
She stretched out her hand, just hugging Huo Jingwei tightly, wanting to seek a pillar, seeking comfort, and seeking a place where she could shelter from the wind and rain.
Just like when she was a child, her grandmother fished her out of the river, and at that time, she was so frightened that her body stiffened, and she just hung her grandmother tightly.
That was her only hope, her only life-saving grass.
Now, she is in him, the same, seeking warmth, seeking refuge.
The warmth of his arms, the strength of his arms, reassured her that she would no longer be abandoned in the river, rising and falling with the waves, not watching the water splash over her head, the fear deep in her heart, she would not experience it again.
Nestled in his arms, she didn't know how long she had been crying, as if she wanted to cry all the hardships and grievances she had suffered over the years.
Tired of crying, she just hugged him and fell asleep in his arms.
Huo Jingwei just hugged her quietly, watching her like a kitten, unloading all her defenses, nesting in his arms so easily and trustingly.
She is plain, like a lion cub, proud, self-respecting, waving her claws and teeth anytime and anywhere, with a tough attitude, to protect herself. Who would have thought that behind her, there was such a difficult childhood, and deep in her heart, she was so eager that someone could give her warmth.
This weak and helpless appearance is pitiful.
Huo Jingwei lowered his head and kissed her hairline lightly.
He swore that he would take good care of her, and would never remind her of any unhappiness in the past, and never let her cry again.
When Huang Ruirui woke up, it was almost dark, and she was still lying in Huo Jingwei's arms.
It seems that she is afraid that she will be cold, and in the car, it seems that the air conditioner is turned on.
I didn't expect that I was crying so much just now, but I didn't expect that I would fall asleep in his arms again.
Huang Ruirui struggled and straightened up.
"Awake?" Huo Jingwei asked her.
She nodded indiscriminately and looked out the window, avoiding Huo Jingwei's gaze, and also diverted the little bit of embarrassment just now.
"It's getting dark, let's go back to City A." She said.
Huo Jingwei nodded.
The car stopped steadily at the gate of University A.
"I'll send you in."
"No, you don't." Huang Ruirui instinctively refused.
But it seemed that she felt that this was too much for Huo Jingwei, so she changed her wording: "It's too late, I don't want my classmates to criticize it." ”
Huo Jingwei expressed understanding. He told her again: "Rest well, stop thinking nonsense, call me if you have something." ”
Huang Ruirui nodded and got out of the car, and suddenly, she remembered something again and opened the car door: "Huo Jingwei, this bracelet will be returned to you." As she spoke, she removed the bracelet from her wrist.
"Why? Dislike? Huo Jingwei was unexpected.
"This thing is too valuable, you gave my father so much money just now, I have to work well for a long time before I can pay you back, this, I will never accept it."
Huang Ruirui, who recovered from her grief, began to use her own way to draw a line with Huo Jingwei, as before.
"I'm not going to ask you to pay it back." Huo Jingwei looked at her, his face full of pity.
"The money must be paid back to you slowly, and I will never accept this bracelet." Huang Ruirui still insisted.
Her insistence made him a little unhappy.
He would rather she be like a helpless kitten, with nowhere to go but to seek warmth and help from him, than to look at her, who is now as arrogant and tough as a lion, with teeth and claws.
Yes, she is a lion cub, a lion made of glass and crystal, obviously fragile and will shatter with a slight push, but she prefers to make a posture of opening her teeth and claws, defending.
Moreover, it is a little lioness that people love and hate.
