Chapter 239: Collapse in an instant
Ling Yi and Zhang Zuolun's "intimate" meal in the noodle restaurant reached Gong Xiru's ears within a moment, although he was witty in other things, but once he encountered Ling Yi's matter, he automatically became clumsy, after hearing Xiao Er's words, in addition to the faint anger and sour taste in his heart, he couldn't think anymore, and hurriedly went to the noodle restaurant.
Ling Yi and Zhang Zuolun hadn't finished eating a bowl of noodles, Gong Xiru pushed the door in, he still didn't believe it in his heart before he came, he was afraid that Xiao Er was wrong, but now he saw Ling Yi and Zhang Zuolun talking and laughing, the feeling in his heart was very uncomfortable, he stood at the door, he didn't know whether to go in or leave space for the two.
Zhang Zuolun didn't notice the strange expression on Gong Xiru's face, but the person he admired appeared, surprised and happy, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Master Hou." ”
Gong Xiru hesitated for a moment before entering the house.
"We really have a heart, we were talking about Hou Ye just now, I didn't expect Hou Ye to come, Hou Ye please take a seat." Zhang Zuolun smiled and gave up his seat to Gong Xiru.
Gong Xiru's eyes locked on Ling Yi's face, the latter's smiling expression was really anxious to kill him, he wanted to ask, why Ling Yi appeared here with the unfamiliar Zhang Zuolun, but he couldn't open his mouth, and he felt that he didn't have that qualification.
"This is really fate, the owner of this noodle restaurant is Hou Ye, Hou Ye came in to see when he passed by here, I didn't expect the two of them to be here, it can be seen that the world is really small." Gong Sheng said with a smile.
The expression on Gong Xiru's face became more natural, and he returned to his usual cold appearance.
Zhang Zuolun was a little surprised, looked at Ling Yi and said, "It turns out that the friend you said is Master Hou." No wonder, thank you. He arched his hand at Ling Yi, in his opinion. Ling Yi heard his words, so she specially brought him here to make him happier.
Ling Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "I brought you here with selfish intentions, there is one thing that is not only related to your Zhang family, but also related to my Ling family, so you must do it." Of course, I'm not going to let you go on the adventure alone—"
She looked at Gong Xiru and said with a smile: "I wonder if the Hou Ye is willing to lend a hand?" ”
Gong Xiru was stunned. immediately understood that Ling Yi was just for Xiao Er to notify him to come over, and the latter and Zhang Zuolun that he misunderstood had nothing to do at all.
After the heart is clear. Gong Xiru's face was a little unnatural. He coughed lightly and said, "You should know that if you open your mouth, I will not refuse anything." ”
Zhang Zuolun looked at Ling Yi and then at Gong Xiru, and pointed at the two of them in disbelief: "You-"
Ling Yi frowned, took out a parchment roll from his cuff and spread it out.
Zhang Zuolun stepped forward and wondered: "A map, what's the use of this?" ”
Ling Yi pointed to a place, "Here." It's where Zhang Gongzi is going, and what you have to do—"
Zhang Zuolun listened to Ling Yi's words. The whole person was shocked and stunned and speechless, and after coming back to his senses for a long time, he muttered: "I didn't expect - father actually - "
He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, took a few deep breaths, calmed down his panicked mind, and said seriously: "Master Hou, Miss Ling, you two have helped Zoren today, Zoren has nothing to repay, if there is a need in the future, you must not be polite, in the future, my Zhang family will be your all the way." ”
Gong Xiru glanced at Ling Yi inexplicably, and bowed back: "You're polite, since I am a friend, I will not ignore the safety of my friend." ”
Zhang Zuolun quickly rolled up the sheepskin roll and put it in his arms, drank the last mouthful of noodle soup in the bowl, wiped his mouth and got up: "Without further ado, I'll leave first, and I'll come back to see you two after the matter is done." ”
Ling Yi got up and blessed him, and watched him leave.
After Zhang Zuolun left, Gong Sheng blinked at the weaving fan, and the weaving fan rarely understood immediately, pulled the weaving feather, and the three of them went out on tiptoe.
When there were only two people left in the room, the atmosphere fell silent.
Gong Xiru had a lot of questions in his heart that he wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to start, and after hesitating for a moment, he said slowly: "Are the noodles delicious?" ”
Ling Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Your noodle restaurant, although it looks ordinary, there are all kinds of people who come to eat, and they all say that the teahouse is the place with the most gossip, but I see here, there is also a lot of gossip." ”
Gong Xiru couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "I can't hide anything from you, that's right, it's all my people here, don't look at them inconspicuous, but they are very clever, the most important thing is that they have bright ears and hearts, they can hear anything in their ears and remember in their hearts." ”
"This time, I'm going to trouble you again." Ling Yi's voice was a little lower, and there was some helplessness in his tone.
"It's not troublesome, such a big matter, I'm glad you can come to me, and I'm happy that you can bring people over, it's not troublesome at all." Gong Xiru said sincerely.
Ling Yi's eyes turned into a crescent moon: "It's just that I didn't expect that your little second child would send you the news so quickly, and I didn't expect that you would come over in less than a moment." ”
A touch of embarrassment flashed on Gong Xiru's face, "Just -- just -- just come over and have a look." ”
Ling Yi had an expression that I understood, but her eyes were full of ridicule.
Gong Xiru became more and more uncomfortable by her, and hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "When did you find out?" ”
"Found what?" Ling Yi was asked inexplicably.
Gong Xiru was silent for a moment, and said softly: "At first, I just thought you were going to help me, but then I noticed that everything that happened in the past can be related to the Ling family, and if you are not careful, the Ling Mansion will be in great trouble, it was my negligence before, I didn't find such an important relationship, and I couldn't help you more."
I also know that my father has been targeting the Ling family, and I have nothing to say about this. ”
Ling Yi was stunned for a moment before he sighed and said in a deep voice: "It's none of your business, I know how to be indiscriminate, you and your father are two people, you are not connected, I know all this."
As for when I knew it, I don't remember, but it felt like it was so far away from a lifetime.
I knew that the status of the Ling family was in jeopardy, and I even knew that the three families of Gong, Zou and Zhang were jointly preparing to deal with my Ling family at the beginning.
I know even more that even the one above is also eyeing Ling Mansion.
In the situation of being exposed to the enemy, if I am not careful and careless, the Ling Mansion will be beheaded all over the house, so I have to trouble you everywhere. ”
There was shock in Gong Xiru's eyes, in his eyes, all he saw was a well-behaved girl, but on the girl, for some reason, there was no shyness and youthfulness of her daughter's family, let alone the ignorance of her daughter's family.
It is like a piece of jade that has been polished for a long time, exuding a gentle soft light, which makes people love it at a glance.
It is as beautiful as the moon on the horizon, both inside and outside.
She is a magical woman.
Gong Xiru's breath trembled a little, "I don't know that you have hidden so much suffering in your heart, for so long, how helpless you should be alone, no one to talk about, no one to share your worries, I actually dare to claim to care about you."
He clenched his fists in annoyance, and his voice was a little choked: "I should have guessed it a long time ago, I should have guessed your various behaviors, if I had known earlier, you wouldn't have to bear it alone."
I know what it feels like to be alone, to live with a secret, and that secret is still stinging you all the time, that loneliness—it's painful—"
Gong Xiru lowered his head and was silent for a long time, so long that Ling Yi thought that he would not speak anymore, and was about to speak to comfort, but he heard the latter say softly: "Fusheng - you can trust me, you can use me, you can let me do everything." ”
He smiled and continued to murmur: "Although I don't know why, but in my last life, I am afraid that I owe you, I thank God that I will continue to meet you in this life, and I can repay the debts that I did not pay off in my previous life." ”
That "floating life" was too gentle, so Ling Yi's heart couldn't help but tremble, and that sentence was too affectionate, so that Ling Yi couldn't continue to ignore it and pretend not to know.
She trembled, tried to hold on to the chair, and tears fell down like beads of broken thread: "No, it's not like this, it's me—it's me who owes you, you don't feel sorry for me, it's me who is sorry for you, it's me who hurt you, it's me who broke your life."
It was I, who mistakenly believed the unbelieved, my father, my grandmother, it was all me, I was the one who died. ”
It seems that all that I had insisted on before collapsed in an instant.
She was not mature, she was only a sixteen-year-old girl in her previous life, and now, she is just a fourteen-year-old girl.
She has only read the female virtue and female rings, and she doesn't understand scheming or calculation.
She is not smart, but the ** she wants to protect in her heart is too strong, forcing her to step on the thorns barefoot and grit her teeth and walk over.
People say that the potential is unlimited, you never know how far you can go, unless you push yourself step by step, but once that persistence collapses, at that moment, the power of persecution will crush you.
Ling Yi howled uncontrollably, as if she had returned to that night, her father's blood and her mother's tears were sprinkled on her face and body.
The family fell in front of her one after another, and it was her grandmother's desperate death to open a way for her, and she will never forget the misery of her grandmother falling in blood for the rest of her life.
Ling Yi cried heartbreakingly, his eyes were dull and empty, except for the time in Bailan Temple a year ago, Gong Xiru had never seen Ling Yihui so helpless and frightened.
His hands and feet trembled in panic, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only hug the trembling daughter regardless of etiquette, and said gentle and comforting words in his mouth, trying to drive away her fear: "Fusheng-Fusheng-you wake up-Fusheng-It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, my father is still here, my grandmother is still there, I'm still here, we're all alive, it's not your fault, you don't have anything wrong."
